Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What are the symptoms of Bulimia nervosa?
### Response: In bulimia, eating binges may occur as often as several times a day for many months.
People with bulimia often eat large amounts of high-calorie foods, usually in secret. People can feel a lack of control over their eating during these episodes.
Binges lead to self-disgust, which causes purging to prevent weight gain. Purging may include:
Forcing oneself to vomit Excessive exercise Use of laxatives, enemas, or diuretics (water pills)
Purging often brings a sense of relief.
People with bulimia are often at a normal weight, but they may see themselves as being overweight. Because the person's weight is often normal, other people may not notice this eating disorder.
Symptoms can include:
Compulsive exercise Throwing away packages of laxatives, diet pills, emetics (drugs that cause vomiting), or diuretics Regularly going to the bathroom right after meals Suddenly eating large amounts of food or buying large amounts of food that disappear right away
